Ellen raises the questions:
To what part of the production process should we give the most schedule time?
What are the roles of section editors and editors-at-large? Should
editors-at-large be content as well as mechanical editors?
Another time line was proposed.No decision was made, will be revisited next
week.

Lindsay had said in the past they were interested in fundraising, but they are
not present.Paul M.suggested a schmooze-a-thon. John mentioned a concert that

the people who have money in town. Paul M.suggested going to the Wal-Mart
